In most U.S. zip codes, electric vehicles are cost-competitive with their gas-powered counterparts, according to a new study. And regarding emissions benefits of EVs, individual driving patterns matter as much as regional factors like the local electricity mix.
Great, now can we make them more affordable please?
You probably already know this but paper covers total cost of ownership. I think we agree cost of EVs is significantly inflated but for many use cases TCO is still lower than ICE vehicles. So if you’re in the market for purchasing a car definitely worth investigating!
Meh. I’ll easily settle for better public transit, thanks.
The new Slate mini pick up trucks are expected to be in production this year and come in around $20k new. Used EVs already come in under $20k and are good enough for daily commuting in that price range, perhaps not long distance road trips at that price
Certified Pre-Owned (cars returned to dealership when leases expire) 2/3 yr old models can be had 40-55% off MSRP with 10-20k miles on them.
